“His lord said unto him, Well done thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things, enter thou into the joy of thy lord” (Matthew 25:21).
This verse holds two emphases. First, “Well done thou good and faithful servant.” To stand before Christ and have Him utter those words will be beyond description. After stretching our muscles perhaps for many years here on earth, we will cool down. And we will then “enter into the joy of thy lord.” That will be our ultimate success.
A beautiful song entitled “Applause” gives two examples of people who served the Lord for many years. Neither really received much recognition in this life. When they came to the end of life, they were welcomed into Heaven by the applause of angels. Then as they looked around, they saw the Lamb of God who was leading the applause. So many songs try to capture what Heaven will be like, but I think it actually will be beyond anything we could ever imagine.
